What did you get for Christmas?

[Pumpkin_Man]

Nothing wroing with being a gamer if that's what you like. Many inmy family love board games like scrabble, chess, monopoly and others. They alsy love card games. I got into Chess for a short time, and monopoly for a short ti me. Also in college, a few of the guys I use to hang out with were serious card players, but I usualy would lose interest in the game, so we sort of drifted.

I use to go to a boys camp where checkers and chess was the popular thing to do during lunch. We were little kids then, but even then, I just didn't enjoy it. Now I must say that part of the reason is that I got tired of having a checker board shoved in my groin every time my oponent would get frustraited, or having chess pieces or checkers pelted at me when I would quit after seeing these stupid demmonstrations, but all in all I am just not a game player.

It was a lot like that at home. When my younger sister was little and learning how to play these games, she would often get frustraited and have temper tantrums. Many a game pieces were found months later inside the heating register, bening the diningrorom buffette or the kitchen stove because of the "intensity" at whichmy y ounger siste "enjoyed" playing board games. "Clue" was among the worst game ever to enter our house. The yelling and temer got so bad, in fact, that my mom took the game away from her.

Again, I 'm just not much of a game player. Of course she doesn't act that way any more, but I still just don't like games.
